Old style configuration support needs to be removed #15278

Open wddgit opened 8 years ago

wddgit commented 8 years ago

The python code in FWCore/ParameterSet still contains code to support the old style configuration language (the configuration language CMS used before moving to python almost 10 years ago). We should clean this up and remove all this code.

@Dr15Jones , @makortel , do we still have this code in cmssw to read old configuration?

wddgit commented 4 years ago

A lot of it is gone already and you no longer really read an old style configuration file, but there are bits and pieces of it around that never got removed. Some was useful for the migration that happened long ago... For example:
